Before scheduling, we agree on the audience, topic, session length, learning outcomes, materials, preparation, and follow-up in writing. Professional development is separately scheduled and priced; annual membership does not include a professional-development day. Conference keynotes, retreats, and substantial custom work receive a separate quote.
Travel agreed separately. Travel expenses are additional and determined by location, schedule, and actual needs. Many visits may be within a day’s drive; mileage, tolls, parking, lodging, and other necessary expenses are confirmed in advance when applicable. No material travel expense is incurred without prior agreement.
